Ok, so I was having some issues with the RAM overheating awhile ago and the system would only be stable with a single stick in the first slot. So I bought a new A64 cooler arctic freezer fan and 3 RAM heatsinks for the extra memory that I hadn't been using (RAM Iceberg DDR).
After installing the new arctic freezer and the ram heatsinks my computer would start but none of the lights on the case front would come on and the mouse wouldn't respond and the monitor wouldn't register a video signal. All I get on the monitor is a message saying "monitor in power save mode. activate using PC".
So I went back to one stick of memory. same problem. I unistalled the arctic freezer and reinstalled the stock cpu fan with one stick of memory. same problem.
Did I fry my motherboard or does someone have any ideas on what the heck is going on?
Any help/suggestions/ideas would be most appreciated!
